First time poster, first time home owner, first time DIY-er...

I've decided to decorate a small office room as a practice run to see if I'm cut out for DIY or if I should just leave it to the pros.

Removing the wallpaper revealed fragile and cracked plaster, so I figure re-skimming is the way to go. I've trawled through the many online resources and have a pretty good idea of how to get the plastering done.

What I'm not sure about is prepping the wall. I plan to remove the...

We just had some new windows fitted and
noticed the white coating around the inside
parts you can see when you open the windows
is peeling off from the aluminium metal
underneath.

Could this be a manufacturing fault with the
windows or is this usual ?

Please see photo - the peeling starts where
screws are fitted but the rest of the coating
is just coming off very easy around the screws.]]>18UPVC door problemsWed, 28 Jan 2015 22:26:53 +0000http://community.screwfix.com/threads/upvc-door-problems.154877/

I have taken off the handle and snapped the euro lock with some grips.

The bar from the handle is just spinning even with grips on it and I can't unlock the mechanism with a screwdriver, allen key etc.

The tax man has taken all my dough so am looking to fix it on the cheap, can anyone...
